Scrooge’s RB 200 track carSun, 15 Sep 2019 10:11:23 +0000https://www.cliosport.net/threads/scrooge%E2%80%99s-rb-200-track-car.822216/
https://www.cliosport.net/threads/scrooge%E2%80%99s-rb-200-track-car.822216/invalid@example.com (Scrooge)ScroogeSo, most of you know this car, it’s @Sunglasses_Ron old RB which unfortunately got written off from a shunt at the rear.

My plan is to fit cheap buckets and harnesses then just enjoy it on track, the rear interior and all seats are already gone, even the cardboard which is fitted to the roof by Renault!

May change the wheels for something lighter, definitely taking the middle box out the exhaust, it needs a rear stub axel as it appears to be toeing in.

Will get the dent...

https://www.cliosport.net/threads/my-new-volvo-740.828054/invalid@example.com (leeds_182)leeds_182This one is my garage queen. Had a lot of money spent on it by previous owners and pretty quick for a late 80s car.

Just need to find some decent wheels and then potentially bring the rear up as it’s borderline reverse rake.

Ive invested in an old skool disklok as a visual deterrent and hopefully will prevent a quick theft.

I also used to have an old f reg escort that had a hidden flick switch that turned the fuel pump or ignition off - is there something as simple as this you could do diy? Remove a fuse each night or similar?]]>57Been reversed intoSun, 15 Sep 2019 09:57:20 +0000https://www.cliosport.net/threads/been-reversed-into.828367/
https://www.cliosport.net/threads/been-reversed-into.828367/invalid@example.com (DomP182)DomP182Got our Tiguan reversed into last night which has pushed the one parking sensor in and smashed the bumper a bit.

Having never made a claim before I'm unsure how to go about it as I want it put back to how it was.

Do I go through my insurer or theirs?

Can I get it fixed at VW to ensure original parts and paint are used?]]>3AMG Cherry Breaking - A45 contentSun, 15 Sep 2019 09:47:04 +0000https://www.cliosport.net/threads/amg-cherry-breaking-a45-content.825510/
https://www.cliosport.net/threads/amg-cherry-breaking-a45-content.825510/invalid@example.com (Silent_Scone)Silent_SconePicking up next week. Will be my first Merc. Yes, it has no aero pack. The owner who had it built to spec lived in central Birmingham and was terrified it would get stolen. Having thought about it, I actually prefer it without, but I know it's a popular option. Beyond that, perforated full leather and the big black feet, it's fully loaded with 16,000 miles.

https://www.cliosport.net/threads/kangoo-172-cup.817293/invalid@example.com (Brigsy)BrigsyHi all a few pics of my Kangoo with 172 cup running gear. Bought this last year as a cheap track whip and basically done all the jobs on it to finish it off. Might bring it to the CS festival this year as my Extra turbo is still off the road awaiting a new engine.

https://www.cliosport.net/threads/clio-220-trophy-r3t-spec.821069/invalid@example.com (Ricardos)RicardosA bit of an impulse buy! I saw these on photos on the Internet so I called John at R Sport to enquire on price and availability. I then ordered them and picked them up last week, I also ordered new Yokohama ADO8R tyres from Ben Patey and picked them up today in Bracknell. Arrived home and had them fitted, then trial fitted them to see how they sit as they're a different size and offset to the original Trophy wheels. So with a little fettling they should sit right what with longer wheel...

I managed to get a LHD Clio 172. Was the only Clio ph2 Sport that I could find on a decent price and LHD. Although it was cheap, it has a lot of dents due to hail stone storm, but the mechanically parts are in right order. It does have all the belts in 2014 with all the aux bits.
Last night I start myself to port the inlet with a dremel and piles and a lot time. Soon I'll post some pics with the work.

https://www.cliosport.net/threads/daily-dci.821425/invalid@example.com (Brigsy)BrigsyDaily dci was starting to look a little unloved as not been cleaned for at least 8 weeks. Give it a wash, quick decontamination, polish with SRP by hand and a coat of Finish Kare 1000p wax. Trims had a quick coat of AG bumper gel on as thats all i had in stock, need to get some more gtechniq c4 to keep them looking fresh for longer.

Its no minter but cleans up great for 140k on the clock. 60+mpg everywhere and £30 a year tax its basically free motoring...

So me and my friend want a new project to be killing time with, and I just bought a new daily car so we have this clio that we just use for fun.

One day we came up with the great idea that we should fufill every fwd guys little secret dream. make it rwd.

And so we started planning, I can weld and know a thing or two about metalwork in general so engine mounts, mounts for the new driveshaft, differential and so on should be easy. And he is an electrician so making longer and or shorter...

Have always loved them, IMO they define the Renaultsport Clio to a tee.

Please fill this thread full of PH1's to show you appreciation.

https://www.cliosport.net/threads/road-trip-tour-2019.814962/invalid@example.com (MrBlonde)MrBlondeIve been thinking of doing this for a while now,of sorting a Road Trip or Tour for either something over here in the UK or doing a Le Mans trip!
Im looking to do this for next year as this will give us plenty of time to arrange,sort out,save money,time off work etc.
Theres not much information at the moment on dates,where to go etc as i thought this could be something we could all talk about on this thread as we have plenty of time.
But obs things we need to talk about,When,Where,how long...

Basically been a Renault sport fan for a long number of years and therefore owned a lot of renaults (mainly clios). I really like the oem + look, particularly the standard lowered look. I take a lot of pride in all the cars I own.

I have realised I have never actually put a project thread together for any of my cars on here, so thought I may as well start with my new purchase but firstly a few photos of my recent cars and current cars.
